Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured detailed engineering design services for the M18 Greenland Lane Service Diversion scheme. The work covers the C4 design payment associated with diverting Yorkshire Water apparatus affected by the scheme. Yorkshire Water Services Limited is the statutory utility provider responsible for diverting its own apparatus and was selected to provide the design. The requirement is therefore focused on utility apparatus diversion design rather than general construction or routine water services. The work relates to the M18 Greenland Lane scheme in Yorkshire, with the supplier based in Leeds and National Highways based in Birmingham. Businesses relevant to this requirement include civil engineering design consultancies, statutory utility providers and specialists in designing service diversions for highway or other civil engineering schemes.

This procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Yorkshire Water Services Limited. It used a below-threshold procedure without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its value is £13,045.72 excluding VAT, or £15,654.86 including VAT. The award covers engineering design services for civil engineering construction, specifically the C4 design for diversion of Yorkshire Water apparatus. The supplier is responsible for its own apparatus as the statutory utility provider. The process was below the applicable threshold and the contract is active. Evaluation was not competitive because the requirement was placed directly with the utility responsible for the affected apparatus.

This award shows National Highways’ demand for detailed utility diversion design within a major-road scheme and the importance of a supplier’s statutory responsibility for the affected apparatus. A credible competitor for comparable work would need strong civil engineering design capability, experience with utility asset diversions and the technical capacity to produce detailed designs suitable for highway construction schemes. Understanding the C4 design stage and the interfaces between a road authority, construction activity and utility infrastructure would be important. Relevant suppliers would also need to demonstrate control of, or authoritative access to, the apparatus being diverted, together with the engineering knowledge and organisational capacity to manage design delivery over a long infrastructure programme. Utility companies and specialist diversion-design partners are the closest fit.
